this is a reply to both Dave Angel and Ben Finney. this version of testing i think incorperates what you guys are saying. <a href="http://thanksforallthefish.endofinternet.net/ testing1.py">testin1.py</a> except maybe the os.join.path in the last function. here is the traceback Traceback (most recent call last): File "I:\college\spring11\capstone-project\testing.py", line 88, in <module> backupall() File "I:\college\spring11\capstone-project\testing.py", line 84, in backupall shutil.copy2(filesource, filedest1) File "C:\Python27\lib\shutil.py", line 127, in copy2 copyfile(src, dst) File "C:\Python27\lib\shutil.py", line 82, in copyfile with open(dst, 'wb') as fdst: IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '//Mothera/week2\\jonI:\ \college\\spring11\\capstone-project\\changelog.txt'
it looks like it needs os.walk and the other for line to dig through the folders. this being the whole path I:\\college\\spring11\\capstone-project\\changelog.txt of source. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
